Jekyll Island Golf Club - Pine Lakes Course

The course was in good, not great, condition. They typically let the fairways grow a little longer and you get very little roll-out on drives. Not really a big deal if you know this ahead of time. The greens are usually in very good condition and this was the case for our round. They roll on the slower side but very true. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they are now rolling the greens. The challenge is to stay in the fairway. Although not real tight if you miss the fairways the rough will eat your ball alive. You may have a hard time finding it even if you are a few yards astray. This penalizes you appropriately and presents the biggest challenge when playing this course.

We were a twosome who played behind four sloppy old dudes. They had a full hole and a half open in front of them all round and refused to let us play through even as was waited for them to tee off right in front of us. We told the starter Lou at the turn and he said THEY WERE MEMBERS and he wasn't going to say anything. This isn't the first time and it really gives the locals (I am one too) a bad rep at this place. The Canadians who come down in the spring are so courteous and pleasant to play with and understand golf etiquette. It's too bad these elderly bubbas, who looked the part and carried all the right equipment, didn't have the class to match. Driving the cart onto the green fringe, putting with your shoes off. Genteel southern gentlemen indeed. Al Czervik (Rodney Dangerfield) had more class than these 'members'.

Play the Jekyll courses fairly often and really like the whole idea and the facilities and the beautiful settings and the challenging courses. However, why can't the greens ever be in good shape. I don't mean excellent shape I mean just get them to acceptable condition and it would be an improvement. Just cut them occasionally or roll them. Just do something because it detracts from what could be an outstanding experience insteadd of one that is frustrating.

2nd or 3rd time playing here while on vacation, and have always enjoyed the course. Design diversity allows/encourages you to play every shot.

Greens are generous and hold shots very well.

Biggest challenge is the longish & thick rough that can swallow a golf ball in the blink of an eye. Had more than one the rolled off or through a fairway and took a bit to find.

That said... I recommend this course without reservation to those who want the challenge.

Should be better for the money. Greens are coming out of being aerated. Could be a great layout but the state does not allocate the funds to fully support the course. Great potential not being realized

The course itself was in pretty good condition, but the greens had just been aerated. We rented clubs and they were in great shape. We played first thing in the morning, and the course was still wet. We asked the starter if our rental included a towel. He simply stated "No" and went back into his guard shack. Not the most outgoing character I have ever met. So, we played with muddy balls and clubs for the round.

It was just a fun day for some friends that have not seen each other for a year. One of the best rounds of golf I have played in a long time.

We come here once a year and always play here. The coarse is well designed with sand traps strategically placed amongst the fairways and around the greens. Coarse is a must play for any golfer no matter the experience level. Staff is amazing as well!

The course was in very bad condition. You could not putt the greens due to bare spots and black fungus on most of the greens. I would inquire about the conditions of the greens before I played this golf course. Very disappointing!!!

Had to wait on the driving range for four deer to cross. Ran into deer at close range on several holes. Eagle circled me close overhead on No. 12. Have seen gators, tortoises, snakes and other critters previously. I played Indian Mound course alone on Memorial Day when I thought it would be packed. Foursome graciously let me pass on No. 2 and I had it to myself afterward. Played in less than three hours, in perfect weather and for $18. Doesn't get much better, even though I didn't play my best golf. Course will get your attention, without frustrating you. Play it.

All three course at Jekyll islands are excellent I love playing there.

There are three 18 hole courses at this location, and all are in good shape with different challenges.

Nice course and a great day to play. The course is very Picturesque with a lot of abundant wildlife especially deer and alligators.
Mishit drives are a significant problems as the growth outside the rough is impossible.

Great place to play. Good grasses and greens. A joy to play.

Shop Assistant suggested that Pine Lakes was in the best condition of the three courses. It set a high bar! Fairways and greens were very nice, coming out of the winter months. Tees and bunkers were good. We were out early, so pace was fine. (Could have used a little bug spray for early hour.) Really enjoyed the round, and would definitely return to this one, and to try the other two.

Great value for the money. Course is in excellent shape. A quiet, serene setting among the Georgian pines. Lots of wildlife with deer on frequent holes

Course is a little long but in exelent condition. Holes 17 and 18 are tougher.

I'm a local so when you play this course in the winter I always expect the snowbirds from the north to be out. Was paired up with a very pleasant Canadian couple who were good golfers and good company.

The course is in excellent shape. The greens will fool you as the footing feels soft but they are surprisingly fast in comparison. The short par 4s challenge you off the tee in what club you use and how much you want to bite off. The 18th par 4 is one of the toughest you'll play due to length and water down the right side of the fairway.

When I saw the pictures on-line, I thought there would be more water holes. I can only remember 3 holes where water came into play.
I signed up as a single and the starter didn't have anyone to pair me up with, so I played as a single. It took me under 3 hours to do the loop. I paid $15 through Golfnow for a hot deal and another $6 to get onto Jekyll Island. After tips and soda, it might have cost me $30. That was a bargain. Course was in good shape. People are very friendly.

A pleasure to play and in great condition for winter golf!!

Great value and outstanding condition. I try to play this course each time I head south. Never disappointed.
